Default Can I transfer old tapes into my camcorder??

Okay, anyone know how I can transfer old tapes into my camcorder?? i dont have a VCR....just one of those TVs with a VCR built into it if that makes a difference.


And also does anyone know how I can put scenes from real movies into Imovie so I can insert them in?

I'm afraid that you really need a VCR - as you need to be able to output the video somehow - combis aren't usually wired for that. You would also need a special scart adapter, with composite connectors.

SCART is a Euro standard connector for Audio/Video...

What are you playing back from? e.g. vhs, s-vhs, dvd, or computer
And what do you want to record to? e.g. vhs, d-vhs, dvd, hdv, or computer

Oh yeah, what is your camcorder? SCART or not, you may not be able to record as not all camcorders support video-in.
